Briefing on recent meeting of API RP19B and API RP67 Committees Update on development and testing of cement based Synthetic Target Discussion with SPE on the Perforating Section of the new SPE Wiki and incorporation into an industry handbook or manual Update on IPS in 2012 and looking forward to 2013, including Website Perforators.org and LinkedIn Group Mark Brinsden API RP 19B Briefing and Discussion 2012 EWAPS Amsterdam

Mark Brinsden API RP 19B API RP19B Section EWAPS Amsterdam  Some issues with getting progress on Sect 2  Need to get broad input into this important standard – requested that we have 1 Operator and at least 3 other members  Trying to set up longer meetings to get job done as a team over 1-2 days, to avoid distractions

Mark Brinsden API RP 19B API RP19B Section EWAPS Amsterdam  Again some issues with getting progress on Sect 3  2 Operators have now joined this committee - important to have a suitable method of identifying performance at temperature  Safety issues raised with various methods of heating charges.

Mark Brinsden API RP 19B API RP19B Section EWAPS Amsterdam  Section 4 has been sent to API legal for final review  It has also been sent to the technical authors for final formatting etc.  Should be released shortly.

Section 6 (new): Standard for measurement of gun swell Currently no standard for gun swell. Increased use of high performance small diameter carrier guns in Thru-Tubing operations has resulted in the requirement for a standard fit-for-purpose method of measuring swell. Full draft of Sect 6 has been completed – to be submitted for committee review before next meeting Mark Brinsden API RP 19B API RP19B Section EWAPS Amsterdam

Mark Brinsden API RP 19B Cement Target Development – Phase II 2012 EWAPS Amsterdam Continued development and testing of cement and sand based target Previous trials had errors in the mixes which resulted in v weak & porous targets, but useful data October trials – tested various sands for porosity and bulk density Mixed 10 sets of 3 x 6in dia. x 2ft target samples with briquettes to obtain a broad field of data to work from for phase 3 All targets exhibited porosity – but not tested yet Briquettes to be tested after 15 & 30 days and then targets shot with 2in charge, unconfined – Perm. Porosity and UCS to be measured Initial 15 day briquette tests as follows:-

Mark Brinsden API RP 19B SPE WiKi Discussion 2012 EWAPS Amsterdam  Previously in IPS 2012 Houston – delegates agreed that we should have an industry created and endorsed manual or handbook – no clarity on how though!  Discussion with SPE at ATCE San Antonio - various ways to publish – SPE Monograms, PEH etc.  SPE now have WiKI as well, only existing material is on the WiKI  We can set up a cross industry editorial group to ensure the WiKI is effectively populated and controlled – canvas delegates The PetroWiki pilot, launched 1 October, is based on the drilling and completions volume of the Petroleum Engineering Handbook (PEH). Published in 2007, many new technologies are missing from PEH. The wiki format will allow SPE members to keep PEH evergreen, updating and extending it to new technologies. By October 2013, the site will contain the complete handbook, and it will grow with contributions from SPE’s global membership base. All content in PetroWiki is vetted by moderators with subject matter expertise. “This is a game-changer for SPE. PetroWiki will be an important technical resource for our industry, with rich links to other content, including papers in OnePetro” said Mark Rubin, Executive Director of SPE. “The opportunity for members to share their knowledge with others, and for younger members to learn from these experiences will be invaluable.” SPE

Mark Brinsden API RP 19B IPS in 2012 and EWAPS Amsterdam Successful year for IPS in Houston and the new EWAPS in Amsterdam – Well done EWAPS Committee! Busy year in 2013 – too busy?? APPS 2013 KL Malaysia – committee forming - date 24 – 25 April at the Intercon in KL again. Looking for NOC participation. Perforating Safety Forum – Westhollow, Houston – 4 May - hosted by Kent Folse – Shell. SLAP 2013 Bogota Colombia – May MENAPS 2013 Muscat Oman – Q – Committee and location not yet finalised IPS/IPF is still an informal group run by the active committees around the world

Mark Brinsden API RP 19B IPF/IPS on Perforators.org and LinkedIn 2012 EWAPS Amsterdam Website fulfils basic needs but with greater activity requires major improvement To be discussed with current sponsor Guardian, to upgrade the facility or to look at transfer to another sponsor LinkedIn – fairly active – key location for announcing meetings and for Perforation discussion – all group members vetted not an open group. Around 900 members.

Mark Brinsden API RP 19B 2012 EWAPS Amsterdam Thank you all for continuing to so enthusiastically support the International Perforating Forum around the world Firstly – All the volunteer members of all the committees who put in their valuable time to run these conferences so well! Secondly - All the many many sponsors who kindly come up every time with the money to enable these Symposiums to be free to the industry - I see we have a record 19 sponsors this time! Thirdly – To all the presenters for making these Symposiums really worth coming to Finally – To all the delegates who take time out to make these Symposiums buzz with enthusiasm!
